This Company has been established for the purpose of purchasing x property in the kingdom of Sweden, known as the Gellivar Estates, with the v.ew of developing its great resources. The property comprises (A) About 1,200,000 acres of land, 100,000 acres of which are freehold, and the remaining 300,000 acres can be made of the same tenure. More than 500,000 acres consist of good forests of red and white pines; 100,000 acres are already under cul tivation or fit for it ; and fur her extensive districts will become available for agricultural purposes. (B) The Gellivara iron bed is probably the largest and most productive in the worid, ixtending over nearly three square miles, The ore consists partly of hematite and partly of protoxide of iron, without any visible trace of pyrite, yielding on the average 65 per cent. of pure metal. The mountain was surveyed in 1857 by a practical English mining engineer, Mr. Thomas, F.G.S., and he reported his opinion to be that— " By adopting a systematic mode of working, there may be readily extracted from seven to eight millions of tons of very fine magnetic ironstone, readily obtainable by levels, and without the application of any draining machinery; and that, no doubt, even this large quantity might be materially in creased by removal of top rubbish and vegetation on the line of bearing of the ironstone, before it will be found necessary to apply any machinery for drainage." The mountain was likewise inspected in 1852 by Professor Erdmann, Chief Director of the Royal Geological Surveys in Sweden, and, according to his report, a great number of the veins are estimated at from I to 200 feet in thickness, and about 1,000 feet in length, and the produce of one single vein may fairly be calculated to equal more than three million tons of ore. (C) 215 farms, nine water and one steam sawmill, two blast furnaces, four ironworks, a ship-building yard, ~tc. The greater portion of this property was purchased from the late King of Sweden by an association of merchants in Sweden and Norway, whose operations have been confined to the wood business, and to a gradual extension of the cultiva tion of the land. • The wocd business yields very favourable results. The annual production is about 10,000 St. Petersburg standards, or about 33,000 loads, coating on an average £3, and selling readily for shipment to England, France, Spain, &0., at prices equal to an average of £► ss. per standard, free on board at the shipping ports, thus showing a profit of £1 Is. rer stan dard. This production can ba considerably increased by the erection of more sawmills. _ _ _ The value of the iron ore is increased by the circumstance that, without encroaching on the timber adapted for more valuable purposes, tie forests of the estates and the waste wood at the different sawmills dive an abundant supply of charcoal, at a tow cost, so that 25,000 tons of pig iron can readily be made at a cost of £1 10s. per ton, free on board at the shipping port, while the present selling price is above £.l per ton. A ready sale of the ore stay be safely calculated on at the estimated price of 153. per ton, tree on bpard, at the s ,, ipping port, t.. the owners of the for sts , ind a 'win lie on both the Swedish and Finland side of the Guif of Bothnia, Who have now lane qaanti:ies of wood annually wasted, which they oou , il turn into value by making charcoal of it if they could obtain good iron ore at a moderate cost for smelting. The only obstacle for working the mineral property has bee , the aifficulty of transport of the ore from the mountain to the furnaces and shipping port. The Swedish GuVern ment and D'et, fu ly appreciating the great benefits Which the working of these valuable mines would have on the n ational pro , perity, have now lent their aid by printing considerable subvention for facilitating the transpilt; Very careful surveys have proved that the most ed thbmi cal means of transport will be by a ra lway froM the iron mountain to tne aver Lu!e, a distance fabolit sixty Engli miles, and by further making two short Canal._, to avoid rapids and fal s, which wilt render that rt,, e r navigab e to the port of Gaddvik in the Guf of B- tnn i a • The entire cost of this raitw— -4 including rolling stock, and of the two canals, will -_, 000 and toward • thi the Swedi h Govt to the .rnment and Diet have grant e d a • u, • vent _ not exceed £ 239 „ amount of 850,000 rix dollars, or abut' , £48,000. This r b ~ompiny has cont acted to purchase all these vain ' estates for the sum of 1225,0 'O, in order to carry on and extend the wood busine , s, to extend the cultivation of the lan', to work the mineral wealth of the property, and to cons rust for this purpo.e the railway from the Gel ivara iron mount .in to the river Lute and the two canal on that river. For these purposes a capital of £500,000 is required. The presen stock, about 8,000 standards of manufactured wood goods, will be taken over from the vendors at their actual cost price, whereby a considerable profit wi .1 be directly gained by the Company. Three years will be required to construct the railroad and the canals, so as to bring the iron business into full operation. The returns of the undertaking may t hen be fairly esti mated as under : lat. From the sale of 60,000 tons of iron ore to pro prietors of furnaces in Sweden and Finland, at a profit of 6s. per ton 2d. Prom the production of 25,000 tons of pig iron at the Company's own furnaces at a profit of £2 Is per ton 3d. From 15,000 standards of wood at a profit of £1 is, per standard 4th. From net income of railway sth. From net income of canal and traffic thereon 6,395 £101,095 Deduct for management, &c 8,095 Net Profit or 19 per cent. on the share capital irrespective of returns from land, probable increase in sale of ore, and profits to be derived from the Company making bar iron and steel. During the first three years required for the full develop ment of the property, the vendors guarantee that the income on the paid-up capital shall amount to at least 6 per cent per annum payable half-yearly, and they have bound themselves to make up any deficiency in such amounts ; as security for the due fulfilment of this guarantee, the vendors leave in the hands of the Company £50,000 of the purchase-money, Which, together with the profits of the wood business, forms an ample guarantee fund. The map and schedule of the estates, estimates of cost of railroad and canals, and estimates of cost of production of iron and wood, together with the reports of Mr. Thomas, and of Mr. Alexander Erdmann, and a letter from the Minister of the Interior, in Sweden, bearing test i m on y to the great in terest of the Swedish Government in the undertaking, may be seen at the Company's Offices. Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association lie for inspection at the Office of the Solicitors, Messrs. Dawes and Sons, and at the Temporary Offices of the Company Application for Shares must be made in the annexed form, accompanied by a deposit of .Z 1 per Share.

In introducing the City Mercantile Club and Dining Hall Company to the public the Directors have pleasure in knowing that they are supplying a great public want, it being universally admitted that— A Club adapted to the constantly increasing growth and requirements of the commercial and mercantile world of the City of London, and A higher class public dinin g and refreshme nt hall are greatly wanted. The Club, with its private dining, reading, and smoking rooms for the exclusive use of members, will be c onducted under the management of a committee. strictly u p on the principles of similar establishments, with a small entrance fee and subscription, and a moderate dining-room tariff, adapted to the views of menof the commercial world. The establishment will contain from 30 to 40 bed •rooms. Holders of ten shares and upwards will (subject to the ballot) be admitted to the membership of the club, without entrance fee. The public dining halls will be on a scale worthy of the City, and capable of comparison with any establish ment on the Continent. The Directors have purchased in one of the best and most central situations in the City, in close proximity to the principal places of business, a magnificent range of buildings (recently erected under the superintendence of an eminent architect) in the centre of Cheapaide. having nearly 30,000 feet of floor space, and pre - eminently adapted to the re quirements of all branches of the proposed establishment. It will be for the consideration of the Directors whether it is desirable to let off the ground and basement floors, the residue of the premises providing ample space for the re quirements of the undertaking, and should these floors be so let off they will alone command a rental sufficient to guarantee a substantial dividend upon the paid-np capital. The Directors have carefully profits and returns of this undertaking, and their most moderate calculations show a dividend of from 30 to 40 per out. consid e red the probable The Directors congratulate themselves on having secured the invaluable co-operation of several gentlemen whose practical knowledge and exper ie nce will be truly desirab le.

DOUBTFUL WHETHER THE LIBERAL MEMBER FOR BATH IS "RIGHT AND TITE i"—Colonel Hogg, Conservative, son of Sir John Weir Hogg, Bart., has an nounced his intention of offering himself as a candidate for the representation of Bath at the next general election. MUNIFICENT GIFT.—Sir Francis Crossley, Bart., M.P., has promised, on behalf of Messrs. J. Crossley and Sons, of Halifax, to the National Lifeboat Institution, to defray the cost, amounting to £3OO, of a new lifeboat to be stationed at Redcar, Yorkshire. The present lifeboat on that station is the oldest in the kingdom, and in going off the other day over some rocks to the rescue of the crew of seven men of the brig Brothers of South Shields, she was stove in, and subsequently discovered to be affected with dry rot, In the vocabulary of the Secret Police the terms "Mouchard" and " Mouton" are the two which are most familiar to those who are uninitiated in its mysteries. The word " Mouchard" is not of modern origin. A certain Antoine de Mouchy, otherwise Democharis, a Doctor of Sorbonne, and Canon of Noyen in 1574, acquired an unenviable notoriety among his contemporaries by his zeal against the Reformers, and was appointed "Inquisitor of the Faith." The Reformers who were persecuted by, and who naturally hated him, gave the name of Moucharts to those whom he employed as spies to hunt out Dissenters. In his " History of the Par dement of Paris," Voltaire says :—" The famous Mouchy was in reality an informer, a spy of the Cardinal de Lorraine, and it was for him that the nickname of Mouchard was invented, and which designated all spies. The term has become an in sult." Other authorities will have it that it comes from mouche, a fly, because the mouchard, like the fly, is ever buzzing about the ears of people. Mouton is applied to an agent who, a prisoner him self, is employed to lead the conversation of his fellows in plots and conspiracies, and to gradually tempt them to disclose their plots with the same apparent frankness he reveals his own. They follow him as a flock of sheep follow their leader. Agents of this kind are employed in most political conspiracies, and, when all is ready, they either disappear, or may be included among the arrest ~d. as a matter of form, and when brought to trial in form against their accomplices or those who confide their secrets to them. When the plot for which the Italian prisoners will to-morrow be on their trial was discovered the first thought that occurred to the public was that if not concocted by police agents, it may have been fomented and matured by them, and that among the accused themselves there was probably more than one who had performed the part of Afouton. How far that suspicion was founded will be seen from the following narrative, which I take textu- Illy from the Acte d'Accusation, or Bill of Indict -- lich will be read to-morrow in the Assize °rocureur Imperial. The Acte d'Ac• ment, 't- Court by the ... - :- maim begins thus °63 . , four strangers entered On 24th December, lc., Swiss frontier, and France at the same time by the of St. Louis exhibited to the Police Commissar; by the their papers, in which they were designate._ names of Greco, Trabuco, Imperatori, and Masi,. The Commissary on reading the papers, recollected that in 1862 amen named Trabuco had been pointed out to the authorities on the frontier as an Italian conspirator of a most dangerous character; and without a moment's delay, he sent word by tele graph to the Prefect of Police that the person bear ing that name was proceeding to Paris with three companions by the Mulhouse Railroad. When they reached the Paris terminus, at half-past sin the . _ morning of the 25th, a surveillance had been already organized, and from that moment till their arrest all their movements were closely watched. " They got out of the same carriage without ex changing a wcrd with each other, and pretended to take different directions; but the four, Imperatori and Maspoli in one carriage, Trabuco in another, and Greco in the railway omnibus, drove to the Hotel Sainte-Marie, Rue de Rivoli, 83 ; Imperatori, Maspoli and Greco (under the name of Fioretti) hired rooms,in which they deposited their luggage. Trabuco, whose only luggage was a French horn and a game pouch, quitted the hotel in the course of the day. He said that ho was going to London but he went to No. 198, Rae St. Honore, where Grcco,who had formerly loci ged there, recommended him and hired a room for him. These arrange ments, however, were only temporary. Oa the 29th Greco presented bitzself at the Hotel de Naple, 176, Rue St. Honore, and hired three rooms, which were occupied the same day by him, Maspoli and Trabuco. The last-mentioned, on quitt:.lg the house, 198, took the precaulion, as he had doh' when leaving the Hotel Sainte-Marie, to say that he was starting for London. The next day Greco brought Imperatori with him, who was placed in a fourth room; " In these different lodging-houses the run ner and bearing of the four strangers seemed singular. From the moment of their arrival they appeared to be hesitating, abstracted, and mysterious. At the Hotel Sainte Marie Greco had recommended the waiter to give the key of his room to nobody,' not even to his own father.' In the house 178, Rue St. Honor 6, he observed to the landlady, Madame Musset, that the locks of the chests of drawers and of other pieces of furniture were not solid enough; and he went out to buy, at a trunkmaker's, named Liard, a new box with lock and key, in which he deposited the contents of his game pouch. When he installed himself at the hotel at Naples, Greco had the locks examined by a locksmith. He himself took up his things to his room. He waited to the last moment to show his papers, and those of his friends. It was only on the Ist of January that the landlady, Madame Thierry, could get Trabuco, Imperatori, and Maspoli to ex hibit their passports; and Greco, who seemed an noyed at the thought of the house-register being examined by the police inspectors, did not put his name on it till the 2d of January. In a word, the movements of these men betrayed a feeling of un easiness. When they went abroad they managed so as to leave one of them in watch at the hotel. The servant who waited on them several times per ceived that they kept the doors of their rooms half open—even during the night—in order to be able to hear the slightest stir in the house. Out of doors their conduct was of a still more suspicious charac- ter. In the hotel they were constantly together. had long conversations, and their going out and coming in were combined ; still they took the pre caution when in the street to separate, to affect not to recognise each other, and when they approached to salute as if they were strangers. The morning after their arrival in Paris they were seen to observe with extraordinary care the approaches to the re served part of the gardens of the Tuileries. The same day they drove by the Place de la Concorde, and the central avenue of the Champs ElysC:es in a carriage, which by their order moved at a very slow pace, and they carefully noted every spot they thus passed over. " On the 28th of December Trabuco, having gone to the streets leading to the Opera, and on the night the Emperor was to visit it, and having remained some time at the house of a hair dresser named Ranciot, in the rue Grange-Bate liere, rejoined his frienls. The four then drove to the corner of the Boulevard and the rue Lepellctier. They waited at that spot till midnight, when the Emperor left the Opera; and t hey were observed to look about them frequently, and with all the ap pearance of mistrust. The following morning Tra huco and Greco went to the hairdresser's, ltanciot, under pretence of getting shaved; they then en tered the covered passage or gallery which leads from the rue Lepellctier, close to the Opera, to the Boulevard. After waiting some time to see if they were observed, they set themselves to examine mi nutely all the passages, and particularly the private entrance reserved for the Emperor. In this they passed half an hour. " On the 30th Rinciot, the hairdresser, on going to the Opera with his wife, found his two customers quder the peristyle, where they seemed to he on the watch. On the 2d of January Greco, Trabuco, Irnperatori, and Maspoli visited the approaches to the Tuileries. But their abstraction of mind was visibly on the increase. They looked as if they felt they were watched; took circuitous drives or walks in the streets ; and when they went on foot they were ever looking back or aside as if they thought some one was dogging their steps. They were much embarrassed when paying their bill at the hotel, and seemed to be waiting impatiently for a letter and money. On the 3d of January, atter inquiring sults—in the room occupied by Trabuco, and id the drawer of a clothes chest, was found an oilcloth bag fastened by a lock. Trabuco, when requested to open it, said at first that the bag was not his, and that it had been given to him by an Englishman to take to London. He was searched, and on him was found the key of the bag, which contained, rolled up in a handkerchief, a poniard and two bombs charged with powder, and furnished, the one with 12, the other with six, nipples. With another key, which was also found on Trabuco, they opened the wooden box bought at the trunkmaker's, Liard, and in it were discovered revolver cases, three packages of percussion caps, and an instrument for adjusting the nipples of the bombs. " In the writing table of Greco was found a tra velling bag which one of Trabuco's keys opened; it contained, rolled up in a handkerchief, two bombs charged with powder, and with 12 nipples. The bag contained, moreover, an instrument for screwing on the nipples, two papers of powder, and a formid able revolver, ready loaded and primed. They dis covered, too, in the possession of (Imo and concealed in various ways, several documents, some of them emanating from Mazzini. " At 7 o'clock the same evening Imperatori and Maspoli were arrested in a wine shop. They were conducted to the Hotel de Naples, where a search was made in their presence. Nothing of a suspicious kind was found in Imperatori's room ; but the drawers of Maspoli's clothes chest contained four bombs charged with powder, each with six nipples, a revolver loaded and primed, a package of powder, one of bullets, three boxes of percussion caps, two poniards, and divers others objects appertaining to firearms. With these things discovered before their eyes, it seemed difficult for the accused to deny their criminal projects. They at first attempted to main tain that they had no culpable intention; but they had eventually to make up their minds to a full avowal. Greco was the first to do so, and his de clarations, now corroborated in the essential part by his accomplices, unfold in a precise manner, the _ _ " A : t r a t t h o e r e a a l d r e o e f d t y h e i s o nd plot etn i n s e M d h z y z n d i e . origin and the details of the pl o t. fa T u h lt is o a n rd t e h n e t ptetu.ber, 1857, by th e A s si z e Court of the e 3 o d ns s p e .. Seine, was fours guilty of having formed, with cer-, ," 1 tain persons names Tibaldi, Bartoloti, and others a plot for the assassination of the Emperor, and has not ceased to attack, in the person of Napoleon 111., the principle of order and authority of which the revolution is the implacable enemy. During the trial of 1857 papers were seized which revealed these plots, and it is requisite to refer to them in order to show the criminal persistence of the chief of the party of action in Italy. d On the 10th of June, 1857, Mazzini wrote to his fellow-conspirators, Massarenti and Campanella, these words The carrying out this attempt is a vital affair for the country. . . . It is nearly the whole question, . . . The affdir of Paris is more than ever desirable and urgent.' He recom mended them to call to mind all he had told as to the line of conduct they were to follow; he informed them of the means of procuring funds ; and he added, I would give millions, but I cannot.' At this period he again wrote on the subject of the conspi racy•which was to spread over all Italy, but which he had not been able to bring to maturity, ' The structure that has been raised with infinite pains and unhoped-for success up to yesterday has been overthrown. . . . It is enough to make one (lash his head against the wall. Ido not do so, however; we have to begin again? "Mazzini was preparing for 1863 a vast revolu- t i o ,:ary movement, the signal for which was the assn s i nth Lion of the Emperor. Greco, a second-class conspirator, B ,:emed to him at once obscure enough and resolute enough for the matter to be entrusted to him. Greco,' said Mazzini, in a letter addressed to the Times on the 14th January last, is an enthu siastic patriot, who Jails taken an active part in the expeditions of 1860 dud 1861 in the South of Italy, and as such was in relation with me.' The rela tions of these two became intimate in April, 1863. Mazzini was then at Lugono. " The plan was then arranged, and it was decided that Greco should proceed to I of May to examine the state .:l r of affairs, in the beginning affairs, and when o pportunity offered, to make the att.'mpt. At the moment of his departure Mazzini wrote, in his pre sence, a note to serve as the key of his co:respon deuce. In it everything was carefully provide. for —the relations to be formed in Paris, with a vie to bafflo the vigilance of the police; the necessity for money, arms, and assistants ; the notice to be given on the eve of the attempt. Finally, Mazzini mentioned, as the place to which letters were to be addressed to him in London, the house of a woman, named Rosselly, the daughter of a ma❑ with whom he had political relations at Lugano. The note was in these words : "' From Paris to London.—To Madame Roselly, 58, Myddelton-square, Pentonville, London.—lf you come in contact with Murat, you are to tell him, among other things, that you have good hopes as to your military career. If you are absolutely in want of arms, you are to ask permission to dedicate to him a fantasia of your own composition, a rots, for the piano. If you are absolutely in want of pecuniary aid, you will tell him to send you, buying it for you, Balfe's last opera. Address and hour. If there is great probability of doing the thing, you are to write an insignificant letter, and conclude, 1 will write to you in a week, in three or four days. If there be absolute want of an intimate be pleased to tell me the price of a Broadwood piano in London.' This note was one of the documents found in pos- session of Greco. It is manifestly from the hand of Mazzici,as an expert has abundantly demonstrated. Together with this paper Mazzini sent a sum of money to Greco. Greco then set out for France, by way of Turin and Mont Cenis, and reached Paris early in May. Under the name of Fioretti, and sometimes under his own name, he lodged succes sively at the Hotel Saint-Marie, Rue de Rivoii, and at No. 198, Rue St. Honor 6. He found a pretext, as had been agreed upon, to present himself at the house of Prince Murat, one of whose secretaries he frequently saw ; and he succeeded in this way in making the police agents, who had at first watched his movements, believe that their, surveillance was supPrfluous. "The Emperor had for a short time left Paris. It was deciiied, in a c orrespondence between Greco and Mezzini, that the attempt should be postponed. Greco quitted his hotel in July, leaving behind him a portmanteau containing various articles, and say ing he was going to London. He returned to Lu gano, where he again found Mazzini. His relation 3 with him were continual. " In consequence of measures adopted by the Swiss au thorities the Mazzinians who resided at Lugano found it expedient to disperse. Greco retired to Mendrizio, but he came several times in the week to Mazzini's lodgings. It wa s during these interviews the organisation o f th e conspi racy was concluded. Mazzini from the commencement declares that, having gone to London, he left the address, written with his own hand, to which letters for him should be directed, ' M. flowers, '5, Thurl oe - sq uare, London.' This note was seized, with severa l other notes s igned by Mszzini with his usual abbreviati on' together with four of his photogr&phs, two of w hi c h were signed by him. " Eight days before Mezzini quitted Lugano he left 1,300 francs with Greco. He next sent him I,ooof. from London, and again 2,0001. in bank notes. At the same time he col lected arms. Greco received 10 bombs, revolvers, and poniards, through various Mazzinian agents, and particu larly through an individual named Mostel, of Genoa. Finally, Greco selectad, w ith the approbation of Mazzini. the comrades who were to accompany him to France. " lie had already secured the assistance of Imperateri. " Greco next added Trabuco. This individual had long led a vagrant life. In 1850 and 1851 he was employed as a physician, receiving wages on board the French ships Al gesiras and Pandore. He disappeared, leaving debts behind him. He was convicted in Paris on the 14th October, 1857, and sentenced to imprisonment for one year, for swindling under the name of Belisario. Having been expelled on the 13th October, 1858, by an administrative decree he went to Italy, where he served with the Chasseurs of the Appenines, and thence to London, where he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for robbery on the 10th of August, 1861, _ " Greco, who saw him for the first time at Naples in 1860, met him again at Genoa in November, 1863, and again at Lugano and Mendrizio in December. Frequent meetings took place between these two men. Trabuco enjoyed the reputation of being a daring conspirator; and Quadric), one of ➢lazzini's secretaries, assured Greco that he should find in him a devoted auxiliary. He entered into the plot, in which it la as seen above he took a particularly active part. " In fine, three or four days previous to the departure of Greco for France, Imperatori came to him to present a young man named Scaglioni, one of ' the Thousand' of Marsala who had been compelled to quit Paris, a warrant having been issued against him for some act of violence. Scaglioni declared he was determined to attempt the Emperor's life. Greco , in the presence of Imperatori, .to danger they were about to incur. Imperatori repeated that for his part he made the sacrifice of his life, and that he was resolved, inflexible as fate. Scaglioni wished to consider the matter. He returned, and said he was determined, and asked to be permitted to join in the plot. Greco admitted him, assisted him to procure a passport under the name of :despoil, and they prepared for their departure. The Em peror had taken up his residence in Paris for the winter. " Greco only waited for an air-gun which he was to receive from Mazzini. This weapon was delivered to him in Decem ber. The following day the four prisoners quitted Lugano, having each in his travelling bag two of the bombs procured by Greco, who wished to take only eight of the 10 bombs received from Mazzini. They were provided with other arms and with gunpowder purchased by Greco in Switzerland. They crossed the frontiers eight days afterwards. " The facts avowed by Greco were at first denied by the other accused. Trabuco pretended in his first interrogatory that he knew nothing of the use for which the articles found in his room were intended. But he shortly afterwards asked to be examined again, and he declared with great violence of manner, that it would be found in some pages written by him since his arrest that the bombs seized in his room were intrusted to him, that ha had brought them to France, and that he meant to use them to kill the Emperor, whose death he had sworn since the affair of Aspromonte. He admitted that Greco showed him a bomb at Lugano, telling him, this is real justice;' to which he replied, ' it is the truth.' " Trabuco, with whom were deposited the keys of the trunks in which the bombs were placed, had been particu larly charged to examine the approaches to the Opera, and it was proved that he obtained information as to the Ern paror's habits. Scaglioni, after some denials, fully corrobo rated Greco's account, adding that each had threatened the the others with the disgrace of withdrawing from the plot. He explained that the bombs were to have been thrown under the Emperor's carriage, and, if necessary, the Em peror was to be put to death by means of poniards and re volvers. As for Imperatori, he at first pretended he knew nothing of the plot, hoping, as nothing was found in his room, that his position was better than that of his accom plices. " But his letter to Mazzini, seized upon Greco, left no doubt as to the part ho had performed. He in vain endea voured to make it be believed that the letter had not the bearing attributed to it; next that it had been forced from him, and that since then he had never ceased to be the vic tim of moral constraint. He was at length obliged to admit his relations with Greco. He admitted that he introduced Scaglioni, that he was aware of the object of the journey ; that he assisted is bringing the bombs into France ; and that he knew Greco had assumed the name of Fioretti. The other prisoners explained that no arms were found in his room because the furniture could not be firmly closed. " Scaglioni had possession of the two bombs which were to be used by Imperatori. In fact, the proceedings of Im peratori in Paris, as proved by the police agents, show that he was incessant in preparing for the execution of the plot. As for Mazzini, the protest which, according to custom, ho made in the foreign press, both on the present conspiracy and on that of 1857, cannot prevail against the precise and corroborative declarations, the information, and particularly the written proofs collected during the preliminary pro ceedings. "Competent judges were appointed to examine the arms seized on the conspirators. It was ascertained Ly firing two of the bombs that each of them broke into more than 44 fragments, which would preduce the most terrific results. As for the poniards, which Greco confessed were poisoned, a gummy matter was found, and tin sheets which had served to fix a poisonous substance, but that substance, which had left a trace on the blades, had evaporated and the experts could not discover its nature. " At the time the prisoners were arrested, the execution of the plot was evidently near at hand. Trabuco was about to leave. He had announced at his hotel that he was going to London ; he asked for a hammer and some nails to close a bex, and he wrote an address for it, which was found in his room. Scaglioni had written to his family to request they would send him money to Geneva. " Greco wrote to London to say that all was going on well, and asked for money which, in fact, arrived on the Gth, after his arrest, under the form of a draught for 600 f., sup ; , lied by a house known to have relations with Mazzini. In rine, the bombs, which it was agreed should not be charged unt.' l the last moment, were filled with gun p ow d er re the arrest of the prison ers . Thi s w as the evening bet..: done by Trabuco ana Greco, with the help of Scaglioni, and in presence of Imperaton. f or a purpose which it is difficult to under. stand, ''r sought bu"' to maintain that ho had not participated in it ; but, being confronted with his accomp lices, he answered, `'Trabuco, . in his last examination, I accept the anSWers given by my friends.' " Never was crime more skilfully prepared—never were conspirators better chosen, and supplied with arms more terrible and more sure. Never was attempt against society at large so near its accomplishment, when the vigilance of the authorities penetrated their designs, foiled their plots, and delivered over to justice the guilty. "Wherefore the persons named-Ist. Pascal Greco, aged 28 years, professor of music, born at Pisa (Italy), residing in Paris, No. 176, Rue St, Honore ; 2d. Raphael Trabuco, aged 40, born at Citta di Averza (Italy), residing in Paris, No. 176, Rue St. llonore ; 3d. Natale Agestino Impern tori, aged 33, bookbinder, born at Lugano (Switzerland), same residence; 4th. Angelo Scaglioni, aged 22, student, born at Sc. Joseph (Italy), same residence; sth. Giuseppe Mazzini, born in Italy, absent—are accused of baying in 1863 and 1364, with the design concerted and decided be tween them, formed a plot having for its object to attempt the life of the Emperor ; the said plot having been followed by an act committed or commenced towards its execution; the said crime being against the 86th and 89th Articles of the first section of the Penal Code." REVIVAL OF THE STOCKS.- —On Tuesday after noon three boys were kept in the stocks at St. Ives, Corn wall, for three hours, for having played marbles on Sun day. This mode of punishment had not been adopted in the town for 30 years, and the novel sight consequently attracted several hundreds of spectators. LAUNCH OF A DANISE WAR VESSEL-011 Wednesday afternoon an armour-plated frigate, intended for the Danish Government, was launched from the build ing yard of Messrs. J. and G. Thomson, at Govan. The length of the vessel is about 280 feet, and she is of 3,500 tons burden and 600 horse power. She is covered from stem to stern with armour plates 4i inches thick, upon a strong backing of teak and iron plating. The launch was witnessed by a large number of persons on both sides of the river, and was conducted without the occurrence of may mishap. A NEW SIIYLOCK.--The Edinburgh papers are enthusiastic about Mr. Alfred Wigan's performance of this great Shakespearian character. Ou Monday night, in the presence of his Royal Highnes s P r i nce Alfreiand su ite, this favourite actor appeared for the first time in his new part, and his impersonation of the fierce, exacting', greedy, passionate Jew, completely carried away an intelli gent ant somewhat critical audience. Mr. Wigan, we un derstand, will appear in another of Shakspere's characters at Liverpool, on occasion of the tercentenary festival to be celebrated there, playing the part of lago, with Mrs. Wigan as Emilia. It is another proof of the utter want of taste and judgment on the part of the committee of management at Stratford-upon-Avon, that. Mr. Wi g an has received no invitation to attend there. The se who can recollect Mr. 'Wigan's performance of Falconbridge at the Princeever ss's, certainly one of the best concepnaturall tions of character may y feel some sur realised on the English st a g e, prise at the omission of his name from the programme. A. national dramatic festival, from which our two best artists in their respective lines—Mr. Phelps and A% igen—will be absent, will certainly not adequately represent the present position of the English stage.
